Hand-Painted Signs, Gold Leaf & Fine Art

Hello, my name's Kit Tinkler. I'm a traditional painter & sign-writer mostly working in London and the South East [and occasionally in Sunderland and the North East].

I completed my bachelor's degree in Fine Art from the University of Sunderland in 2011 and since then have sold paintings to private collections around the world and have worked with companies and individuals across Northern Europe to produce unique hand-painted artworks.
